Vista is Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland's leading charity for people with sight loss
Starting as a support worker, Jo is now a registered manager for Vista's residential homes for adults with sight loss and learning disabilities.
Find out how Vista's Digital Vision Service has helped Jo and Mary during the pandemic.
Joan's sight has deteriorated in the last five years. Her loss of central vision means she finds it hard to recognise faces, read, or perform other activities of daily life.
John was a normal teenager, living in Hinckley during the Second World War. At just 14 years old, he was a civilian casualty, resulting in complete blindness in both eyes.
Julie has worked at Vista for over 27 years and runs the 49 bed residential home for older people with sight loss and dementia.
Julie now uses the ‘seeing AI’ app when out shopping and said “It’s the best thing ever and I have been scanning everything, I am absolutely loving the new app. I have been taking photos of everything as well. Thank you”
